Coward Offets Escape
Blithe Spirit' Begins Drama Season
Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward, the
first production of the CSC drama
department for 1960-1961, will be
presented in Jeanne d'Arc audi-torium
October 30 and 31.
.Mabel Frey, director of the play,
explained that the play is an "es-capist
drama." Noel Coward wrote
Blithe Spirit during the early part
of World War II to provide laugh-ter
as a relief from tension. Miss
Frey explained that "Blithe Spirit
might serve the same purpose for
us in the tense situations imposed
on us by the cold war."
The play concerns Charles Con-demine,
an English novelist who
invites a lady medium to conduct a
seance in his home as background
for a novel he is writing. But the
medium summons back Charles'
first wife, long since "passed over,"
and only Charles can see and hear
her "blithe spirit." This leads to
awkward situations for Charles.
Acting in the play are Mary
Carey as Elvira, Rose Ann Vogt as
Edith and Mary Schmid as Ruth.
Diana Englebret will take the part
of Madame Arcati, and Midge Lange
will play Mrs. Bradman. Dale Miller
as Charles and George Poletes as
Dr. Bradman complete the cast.
George Poletes has designed the
set for the play. Stage manager is
Nancy Palma, Crew heads include
lighting, Judy Larson; sound,
Sheila Butler; construction, Sharon
Conlin; costumes, Barb Lorbiecki;
and props, Fran Sweeney.
Karen Hilgers is in charge of
tickets which are on sale now in
the SJH voting booth. Season tick-ets
for Players' productions this
year are also still available.
